❤️ the game's story & gameplay. They really surpass my expectactions with this Final Fantasy. If there is any DLC ever going to be announce I will buy it immediately. I personally highly recommend buying the Deluxe Edition for those juicy extra things you get for buying it.

I did not preorder or go into best buy on launch day, I went in the day after launch just looking for any extra preorder steel books despite the fiasco with them. I found one steelbook, knowing my best buy was sold out online of the game i goto checkout and go ahead and ask the cashier if they have any copies of the game in stock. He came back to the counter actually not empty handed. And opens the security box case with the deluxe edition inside ! I know its sold out so i pull the trigger and drop a hundred on game of the year and a late fathers day present to mysef. I know its more then the standard edition but im a bit of a collector and i know years from now this will look great on a game shelf with double steelbooks on display !

Grandiose boss fights, excellent combat, and a okay story bogged down by dull and sometimes outright boring side quests and a unstable performance mode. If your looking for a fun flashy action rpg albeit at 30fps then this may be the game for you.

Get lost into a world of war and fantasy

One of the best entries in the Final Fantasy saga.
Everything from the world design to the voice acting to the war torn environments helps to truly transport you to the realm and the central theme surrounding the crystal is one of many nods to the final fantasy brand.
Kinetic action means the battles never get stale and plot twists and unveiled secrets means you'll never get bored right up until the end of the credits.
And then there's new game +.
As a long LONG time fan of the series, I'm completely satisfied. I kinda wish there was a Vagrant Story that was given this level of treatment. I'd be in heaven.

I really enjoyed final fantasy 16, I thought the story was great, the gameplay was solid, the cutscenes were a little long but that is to be expected for a final fantasy game. All in all it was a great game and I really enjoyed it.

Amazing game, this is not you’re traditional final fantasy game and you’re in for a surprise, also keep on mind this is not a final fantasy game for little kids. Final fantasy 16 is my favorite Final Fantasy since Final Fantasy 10 and mine Game of the Year!

The video game itself is amazing! But kinda disappointed it didnt come with the best buy steelbook as i did pre order the deluxe edition. As well as game not being available for pick up on day of release. Still game is amazing worth the wait.

Fantastic! My favorite combat style I’ve ever played - just the right pace and level of configurability. The storytelling can get a little silly sometimes, but in the usual JRPG melodrama way that just takes a little buy-in from the player.
MOST of the quests don’t feel like fetch quests, but there is the occasional series of “oh come on, really.” Though not too much.
